>Mine: I thought that I could own an 18 wheeler as my personal car and park that shit in my driveway and cruise around and do various degenerate shit with it.

What was some terribly wrong ideas that you had about cars as a kid?

Didn't know how much oil to put in the engine for my first oil change on our family's minivan. The lawn mower took one quart so I put one quart in the van. Drove it around the block and the oil light wouldn't go off. I was at least smart enough to drive back and ask my dad what's wrong. Engine didn't seize, they still have it to this day.

I wanted to check the oil in my car and the transmission fluid.
I knew that the car had to be on to check the transmission fluid, so I pulled up to my local gas station and checked it.
Took the oil dipstick up and some guy noticed me checking it while the car was still running.
I got a mouthful from him.

When I was 9 years old I watched the Fast and the Furious with a girl who was "into cars." I asked her what a 10-second-car was when they brought it up in the movie. She told me it was a car where you can shift through all the gears in 10 seconds. I still laugh every now and then when I hear someone say 10-second-car.

I thought drum brakes were the norm. You wouldn't believe the look on my face when I learned about ABS.

I thought RWD was normal and only Hondas were FWD (my parents only owned RWD vehicles)
